Download or read book Handbook of Urinary Stents written by Noor Buchholz and published by JP Medical Ltd. This book was released on 2016-03-03 with total page 338 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Urologists have long used urinary stents in patients who have - or who are at risk of developing - an obstruction or blockage of the kidney. These rodlike devices are inserted into the ureter to keep the canal open or to help with healing after trauma, surgery or radiotherapy. More recently the use of stents for the prostate and urethra has also become more widespread, despite poor results in first generation models. Constant development has led to the introduction of second generation stents with a variety of designs, materials and coatings. These have gone a long way to counter the traditional side effects such as irritation, hematuria, infection and encrustation. Handbook of Urinary Stents has been written to provide urologists with a practical guide to the various new models for stenting. The book describes the various stents available; the criteria for their selection; their clinical application and potential complications of use. At the same time, the book provides thorough descriptions of relevant physiology and pathophysiology for those requiring deeper understanding of the subject. Key Points Provides a comprehensive, timely review for urologists needing an accessible guide to the range of stents available Chapters highlight the use of stents in special populations such as children and patients with transplanted ureter Emphasis on clinical complications following the use of stents and how to manage them effectively

Download or read book Early Versus Late Ureteric Stent Removal After Kidney Transplantation written by Emily Thompson and published by . This book was released on 2017 with total page pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Introduction: Kidney transplantation is the treatment of choice for patients with end-stage kidney disease. In a previous review we concluded routine ureteric stenting in kidney transplantation reduces the incidence of major urological complications (MUCs). Unfortunately, this reduction appears to lead to a concomitant rise in urinary tract infections (UTI). For kidney recipients UTI is now the commonest post-transplant complication. This represents a considerable risk to immunosuppressed transplant recipients. There are a number of different approaches taken to ureteric stenting which are associated with varying degrees of morbidity and hospital cost. This review aimed to look at the benefits and harms of early versus late removal of the ureteric stent in kidney transplant recipients.Methods: We searched the Cochrane Kidney and Transplant Specialised Register using terms relevant to this review. All RCTs and quasi-RCTs were included in our meta-analysis. Two authors reviewed the identified studies. Early removal was considered as stent removal before day 15 post-op or during the index transplant admission. The primary outcome of interest was the incidence of MUCs. Secondary outcomes were UTI, idiosyncratic stent-related complications, hospital related costs and adverse events. A subgroup analysis was performed examining complications reported in different ureteric stenting techniques; bladder indwelling (BI) vs per-urethral (PU). Statistical analyses were performed using the random effects model and results expressed as relative risk (RR) with 95% confidence intervals (CI).Results: Five RCTs (1097 patients) were included in our analysis. There was no significant difference in the incidence of MUCs in early vs late removal; RR 1.65 95% CI [0.57, 4.83], p=0.36. The incidence of UTI was significantly reduced in the early removal group; RR 0.60 95% CI [0.41, 0.87], p=0.007. UTIs were significantly less likely to occur if a BI stent was used, RR 0.45 95% CI [0.29, 0.70], p=0.0004, compared with PU stents; RR 0.81 95% CI [0.51, 1.27] p=0.36. Discussion: Early removal of ureteric stents following kidney transplantation significantly reduces the incidence of UTI and is not associated with a higher risk of MUC. Bladder indwelling stents are the optimum method for achieving this benefit.
